::The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide- This is true.
::Since it's a saturated solution- false. A saturated solution of KOH will react with Zn and produce H<sub>2</sub> gas. Please check your source.
::since the electrolyte isn't a reactant- false. The chemical reaction you mentioned is correct and OH<sup>-</sup> ions are consumed (they are released at a different place) in the reaction. In fact the ZnO is never produced but we actually get potassium zincate (there is an article on sodium zincate in wikipedia). For every mole of Zinc metal, approx 2-4 moles of KOH are consumed. chami 17:28, 28 October 2022 (UTC) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ck.mitra|Ck.mitra]] ([[User talk:Ck.mitra#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ck.mitra|contribs]]) </small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
